“Barcelona is intent on acquiring a new defensive midfielder during the upcoming summer transfer window, a fact widely acknowledged at this stage.
Following the unsuccessful signing of Oriol Romeu, sporting director Deco is actively exploring the market for potential options to address the vacancy left by Sergio Busquets’ departure in the summer of 2022.
“According to the report, two names on Barcelona’s radar for the pivot midfield position are Nigerian players Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester City and Raphael Onyedika from Club Brugge.
Ndidi, aged 27, currently competes for Leicester City in the English Premier League, showcasing both his experience at the highest level and his established track record, making him an appealing prospect for Barcelona.
Adding to Ndidi’s allure is the fact that his contract with Leicester City is set to expire at the end of the season, potentially rendering him available on a free transfer in the summer.
